Martial Soul: Luo Sanpao, Starting by Conquering Liu Erlong!-Chapter 24: Yu Yuanzhen’s Recruitment and the Price
Chapter 24 - 24: Yu Yuanzhen’s Recruitment and the Price
Who would have thought that the top two leaders of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family would be bickering like children? If their clansmen saw this, they would surely be stunned.
"..."
Looking at his elder brother, who was acting like an old child, Yu Luomian couldn't help but smile wryly. He then spoke slowly.
"Sigh, what I want to talk about isn't Erlong, but one of her disciples."
"A disciple?"
Hearing these words, Yu Yuanzhen raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Erlong is already a Spirit Sage, right? With her strength, she could even be an elder in our family. What's so special about her taking on a disciple? Don't tell me you came here just to brag about this... You're not that annoying, are you?"
"..."
Hearing this, Yu Luomian's face darkened.
This old man was becoming more and more unreasonable.
But there was nothing he could do. After all, Yu Yuanzhen was the strongest in the family.
If only he could break through to the Title Douluo level, he would definitely pull this irresponsible man down from the position of family head!
"Yes, a disciple who awakened the same useless martial soul as your son. But the most important thing is that he went from half a level of spirit power to level ten in just one year! And he even obtained his first spirit ring!"
"..."
Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen, who had been acting carefree, immediately became serious.
His sharp, aged eyes stared deeply at Yu Luomian as he spoke in a grave tone.
"Are you sure?"
"To be honest, I was curious about the kid's talent, so I used some connections to check the records at the Spirit Hall. That's how I found out.
I believe this is why Erlong chose to take him as her disciple. Otherwise, why would she take in a kid with only half a level of spirit power? Oh, I'm talking about Xiao Yu, not your son. No offense."
Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand dismissively.
"It's fine. Xiaogang's reputation as a failure isn't new. I don't care much anymore. As long as he's alive, that's enough."
Although he said this, Yu Yuanzhen still felt a pang of pain in his heart. After all, Xiaogang was his son.
Especially since he had heard that Xiaogang's situation had recently taken a turn for the worse, Yu Yuanzhen was growing increasingly worried.
"What? That cowardly, weakling Yu Xiaogang isn't dead yet? Well, I guess someone who abandons his friends and runs away at the first sign of trouble wouldn't die so easily."
"Enough, Second Brother. No matter what, Xiaogang is still your nephew. He—"
"Hmph, Elder Brother, don't defend him. If he had dared to stand in front of Erlong back then and question me, or even beg me, instead of running away, I would have respected him. But he didn't.
If he weren't your son, I would have killed that coward who didn't even dare to stand in front of a woman and instead deceived my daughter."

Interrupted by Yu Luomian, Yu Yuanzhen had nothing more to say.
"Forget it. Let's not talk about that unlucky guy. Tell me more about Erlong's disciple! How did he do it?"
"I don't know. I didn't ask in detail. After all, not only was Erlong there, but Dugu Bo, that old poisoner, was also present. And it seems Xiao Yu has a good relationship with Dugu Bo. Dugu Bo even mentioned betrothing Dugu Yan to him!"
Hearing that even Dugu Bo was involved, Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but look surprised.
"What?! Even Dugu Bo, that old poisoner, is involved?! What kind of kid is this? How could even Dugu Bo take a liking to him... But then again, if even you, with your strange temper, can like him, then Dugu Bo, who's even stranger, naturally could too."
Hearing his elder brother's constant jabs, Yu Luomian simply rolled his eyes and didn't bother responding.
"Alright, tell me everything that happened! It seems you still have a lot to say!"
Yu Yuanzhen quickly regained his composure, pulling out some snacks from a drawer and speaking.
"..."
Seeing this, Yu Luomian grabbed a chair and sat across from Yu Yuanzhen. While munching on snacks, he began recounting everything he had learned.
As the vice-leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, many people were eager to provide him with information whenever he wanted to know something.
Before long, as time passed, Yu Yuanzhen's expression shifted from curiosity to seriousness.
Every word Yu Luomian said exceeded Yu Yuanzhen's expectations.
After listening for half an hour, Yu Yuanzhen could no longer sit still.
He stood by the window, gazing at the nine thunder mountains in the distance, watching the lightning flicker across them as he fell deep into thought.
"So, this is all the information you've gathered? Are you sure he's not a descendant of our family?"
Yu Yuanzhen asked in a deep voice.
If Xiao Yu were a descendant of their family, everything would be much easier.
However, Yu Luomian could only smile bitterly. He had hoped for the same thing, but after investigating, it was clear that Xiao Yu wasn't.
"Yes, Sect Leader, this is all the information I've gathered. Xiao Yu grew up as a beggar in Heaven Dou City, so his background is easy to trace. I've checked, and he's definitely not a descendant of our family. His background is simple and clean."
"Good, good, good! Who would have thought that the mystery that has plagued our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family for so long would be solved by a little kid? Good, good!"
Listening to Yu Luomian's words, Yu Yuanzhen looked at the distant thunder mountains, his face filled with pain.
If they had known this earlier, perhaps his son, Yu Xiaogang, wouldn't have been labeled a failure for most of his life.
But now, it was too late. Xiaogang had long passed the age for cultivation. Even if they gave him the method now, he wouldn't be able to break through.
"So, what should we do next, Sect Leader? How should we handle that kid?"
Yu Luomian gave Yu Yuanzhen some time to calm down.
Then, he walked to the window, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Yu Yuanzhen, and asked.
Hearing this question, Yu Yuanzhen remained silent for a long time before finally speaking.
"What should we do? What else can we do? Since he's Erlong's disciple, has the same martial soul as Xiaogang, and is so intelligent and capable, we must bring him into the family.
Here's what we'll do: find a daughter or granddaughter in the family who's around his age. When he grows up, we'll make him stay with us through marriage.
Such a talent must not be snatched away by others, especially Ning Fengzhi! Ever since he recruited the Sword and Bone Douluos, he's been frantically searching for young geniuses with clean backgrounds. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is sparing no expense in cultivating them!"
